Sounds also a bit like a hard drive problem. The clink might be the hard drive stopping unexpectedly, maybe due to a connection problem with the drive to the motherboard.
If I disconnect the power to one of the drives in my desktop it makes kind of a clink-ish sound. That's all I can think of.
You might want to try re-seating the hard drive, or try one from another laptop if you have one, just to see if that is the problem.
